Our Christmas baby turned seven this year! I've had a bit of a time with this birthday. It seems like some sort of threshold between "little girl" and "young lady" that I've not yet wrapped my head around. And, of course, after we finished celebrating her momentous day, Baby Jesus' shin-dig was close to follow.

Skyping with Gigi and Poppa!

Birthday dinner at Macaroni Grill -- where you can draw on the table and they sing to you in Italian.

While packing up our house on Inman, I discovered my Breyer horse models that were tucked away and decided they would be a perfect birthday gift for Ella. She loves them!
